Can Local Salons in India Use AI Now? Goodlii Just Proved It

Picture this: You’re in Ahmedabad, browsing for a haircut. Instead of guessing whether a style suits you, you open an app, tap on your selfie, and voilà—it overlays your face with a fresh hairstyle. Cut frustration, add confidence.

That’s not tomorrow’s tech, that's Goodlii delivering AI salon tools in India, proving local salons can go high-tech, right now. This isn't Silicon Valley fantasy—it’s a makeover for a traditionally offline sector.

And with platforms like Admigos bringing 3D hairstyle visualisations to salon campaigns, salons don't just offer a cut—they offer a visionary experience.

Why AI in Salons? The Problem Goodlii Solves

India’s salon ecosystem is huge but highly disorganised, especially outside metro zones. Bookings are manual, service quality varies, and clients rarely know what to expect. Founders Abhinand Pandya and Kahaan Vasa launched Goodlii in February 2023 to change that, starting from Ahmedabad.

Their AI engine:

  • Records haircut history
  • Sends reminders
  • Recommends styles based on past trends
  • Allows virtual hairstyle previews with AR technology slated soon

This blending of AI-driven personalization and business streamlining helps local salons operate like tech-savvy franchises—and clients enjoy futuristic experiences without leaving town.

Virtual Hairstyle Preview: Confidence Before the Cut

The game-changing feature: virtual hairstyle preview. Imagine swiping through styles on your face before the scissors meet your hair.

Currently in beta, this AR tool visualizes how:

  • A bob would frame your jaw
  • Layers fall around your face shape
  • Colors pop on your skin tone

For clients, this means informed choices. For salons, it means fewer error retries, more client trust, and improved satisfaction—all of which translates into repeat business.

Goodlii in Ahmedabad: Tech Bringing Change

Ahmedabad, Baroda, Surat—Goodlii’s initial rollout hubs—have seen 2,450+ salons onboarded and over 1,000 app downloads.

Salon owners benefit from:

  • Online bookings and digital catalogues
  • AI recommendations: follow-up notifications, smart stylist pairing
  • Complete CRM and payment systems
  • Multilingual capability via Google Translate integration

This digital layer brings organisation and reduces no-shows, while clients enjoy easy booking and stylist continuity.

Admigos: 3D Hairstyle Visuals That Wow

This is where Admigos takes the next leap with marketing. We craft 3D hairstyle visualisations for salon campaigns, turning salon marketing into a visual treat. Picture:

  • A 360° head model showing texture, layers, movement
  • Lighting that picks up shine and depth
  • Swipe transitions between your current look and suggested style

These visuals become powerful storytelling tools—social posts, in-salon screens, and AR rollouts—that give clients a near-live preview. It’s not just hairstyling; it’s a cinematic consultation that differentiates salons and drives engagement.

Why Gen Z Loves It

This generation grew up with filters and customization:

  • Self-expression meets tech: Why ask for a trim when you can see what that trim will look like?
  • Desire for control: Virtual previews give autonomy and reduce disappointment.
  • Digital natives expect seamless experiences—even in salons

Goodlii and Admigos deliver just that—a blend of AI, AR, and cinematics that match Gen Z’s tech-savvy and design-focused mindset.

Final Thoughts: The Future of the Salon Is Digital

Goodlii proves that AI isn't just for global megabrands—it’s accessible now in Ahmedabad and beyond.

By addressing both operational efficiency and client experience through AR previews, salons gain a competitive advantage.

Pair that with Admigos’ 3D visualisations, and salons have a powerful toolkit—one that blends trust, tech, and cinematic appeal.
